You know, in my life I've not experienced women, as a category, changing their minds more than men. If anything, it has been the opposite - men with whom I interact will change their minds when facts change or new data is revealed that contradicts earlier assumptions. Heck I absolutely do that and can shift 180 degrees in a matter of seconds multiple times a day, depending on what the data tells me. That may or may not apply to men in general, just the subset with whom I have dealt - but we tend to choose to associate with people that model our own approach to the world, so the sample sets can easily be unrepresentative. If anything the women with whom I have dealt tend to either have no self defined position (or perhaps just refrain from expressing it unless asked), or an absolutely unchangeable fixed position on issues without any chance of change regardless of evidence presented. That's just my personal subset and does not represent 100% of the sample as there are always exceptions, and may, or may not, apply more generally. In terms of sub-classes, I'd say the group of men prepared to change their positions significantly outweighs the group of women prepared to change theirs, after you exclude the larger groups expressing no particular position, but that is anecdotal as I have never actually counted it. In truth I have only seen that truism (about a woman's prerogative (etc.) ) expressed in movies, not real life (except, obviously be the occasional woman making a joke about it).
Apart from that, Thesi is not actually a woman. He/she/it pretended to be a woman many years ago (although I can't recall whether that was just my uninformed assumption or whether it was actively encouraged), but is apparently very much a male. And changes his mind every few days about all sorts of stuff related to GXY - possibly as new data appears in front of him.... kind of demonstrating my point, I guess.
Not sure whether any of that impacts the thrust of what you were saying. Just some idle comments because I have finished trading for the day and felt like some pointless banter.
